Say Cheese.

This morning, by appointment, a photographer came to the farm to do a portrait of me. Not a head-and-shoulders smiling photo for a book jacket. But a here-I-am-in-my-milieu portrait to be included in a possible book of Writers in Maine, the proceeds of which would then go to the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, to a restricted fund for Maine's independent bookstores to use for author visits, signings, book parties. etc. All in all a good thing. And I for one would buy such a book...not to see myself in it!...but because I love to peek into other poeple's lives, especially other writers' lives; and because I love photographic portraits, no matter who the subjects are.

I did find myself hoping, before he arrived, that he would not do yet one more here-she-is-in-front-of-her-bookcases pose. I would have been willing to do that if that's what they were looking for. But...whew...they weren't. He wandered around the first floor of my house; and then through the studio, which is separate from the house, and then...YAY!...into the barn. The barn is my favorite place, at least for photographs. The light sifts in with little bits of dust floating in it. The wood is weathered and in some places gnawed by critters of past generations.

Many, many years ago, my great aunt, a photographer back in the early 1900's, did a photograph of a young boy in a barn. He stands in a hayloft, with the light from a window behind him, making him into a silhouette. I don't know the history of the boy or the photo...only its date, 1911. I used that old photograph as one of the illustrations in my book The Silent Boy.

This photographer selected an old staircase leading to a loft in my barn, and I sat there on the rickety steps beside a wooden post scarred with toothmarks (horse? cow?) and watched him move the dials of his Hasselblad and remembered fondly the days when I also was a photographer of people and looked for the right light, the right backdrop.

I just found an old photo of the stairs on which I sat ths morning, and another of the back entrance to my barn...there is Alfie, looking out. He wouldn't sit with me on the stairs today for a portrait!

od mood to enjoy, bad mood Time to sleep. Good or bad mood is the same, anyway, do not do business. 6, I am not interested - wrong: what is the interest?

So you complain about jealousy and envy hate!People, there is a living value .﻿Persistent pursuit Pursuit is a spirit, it is a will, it can make us in the road of life more practical down, when we encounter difficulties, it can tell me more strong. There is a bird called thorns Nike Air Max Shoes Outlet bird, it is born from there is an ideal, fly to the highest thorns of a branch, so that root piercing into his chest, singing the most miserable and beautiful song of life The For this ideal, it put into action, in the last moment of life to sing a beautiful, miserable song, hence Nike Air Max Womens the name: thorns birds. Although this ideal is really incomprehensible, but if we have the will to pursue it like this, then we are far away from the ideal?Ancient Jingwei birds, according to legend for the emperor, because in the East China Sea swimming, unfortunately drowned, often the name of the Western Hills to fill the East China Sea, which is Jingwei reclamation of the Shoes Outlet legend, but also dedicated to the life of a spiritual model. For our cause and life, we should always adhere to perseverance, perhaps harvest sooner or later, there are big and small, but we adhere to the persistent itself, is a great harvest of life.

Life I, vegetation and autumn, are a very short period of time, then, I would like to ask: What is the sake of people alive? Does life need a spirit of perseverance?Perseverance is such a diligent trek, indifferent state of mind, a rigid spirit of temperament, a wall of thousands of points, no desire is just the festivals.Perseverance is 'insisted Castle Peak does not relax, any Seoul southeast northwest wind'. Perseverance is to keep in mind, in the face of the temptation of the temptation, such as anchorage as strong and stable, steady left look, free indecisive mind; persistent is love is love is focused, is wholeheartedly concentrate on the pursuit of exploration, is perseverance tireless search; Of the investment, is a deep attachment; dedication is given to pay, is the whole body and mind of the pursuit. Perseverance is not just the need for survival, it is the needs of the mind. People can not live without something to attract you to move forward, nor can not catch up with this thing and pay the run. Perhaps we run still did not catch up, but in order to be persistent and persistent, age is hard, but it is also a blessing.Whether you live in the official position, or living in the usual streets, whether
